That's where Passover Lemon Bars come in. These tangy bars are the perfect dessert for Passover as they are made without flour or leavening agents but are still delicious and indulgent. The crust is made with ground almonds which gives the bars a nutty flavor, while the filling is made with eggs, sugar, and fresh lemon juice. The result is a tart and sweet dessert that's perfect for anyone who loves lemon-flavored desserts.
